How to Install Veritas eDiscovery Platform + Essential Support

Installing the Veritas eDiscovery Platform in an on-premise environment is a strategic process that should be approached with planning, adherence to security policies, and alignment with your institution’s IT governance. The following steps outline a practical path to deployment while optimizing performance, security, and scalability. While specific configuration details may vary by environment, these steps reflect common best practices for a successful on-premise eDiscovery installation.

• Plan your deployment: Define scope, data domains, user roles, and access controls. Identify the target hardware, storage architecture, network topology, and backup strategy to support 1 TB processing and peak workloads.
• Validate prerequisites: Confirm operating system versions, patch levels, database prerequisites, and any required third-party components. Ensure license activation keys and ALP credentials are ready for installation.
• Prepare the environment: Provision server hardware or virtual machines, configure storage pools, set up network segmentation for management and data access, and implement security controls such as least-privilege access and multi-factor authentication where supported.
• Install the core platform: Run the Veritas eDiscovery installation media or package, follow the guided setup to provision core services, and initialize the processing and review modules. Apply the license and confirm on-premise connectivity to essential services.
• Configure data processing workflows: Define ingestion pipelines, indexing rules, deduplication strategies, and data custodianship. Set up case folders, data sources, and ETL steps to ensure accurate, repeatable processing.
• Set governance and security: Establish role-based access controls, audit trails, encryption for data at rest and in transit, and secure backups. Implement retention policies aligned with institutional compliance requirements.
• Integrate with existing systems: If applicable, connect to directory services, SIEM tools, and email repositories. Validate integration points for data transfer, security, and logging.
• User provisioning and training: Create user accounts, assign roles, and provide targeted training to administrators, reviewers, and legal or compliance staff. Prepare a test dataset to validate processing, search, and export workflows.
• Pilot and optimize: Run a pilot case using representative data to verify performance against 1 TB processing expectations. Tune indexing, search configurations, and reviewer workflows to maximize efficiency before full production rollout.
• Go live and monitor: Transition to production with monitoring dashboards for processing throughput, system health, and user activity. Establish a maintenance cadence for patching, performance tuning, and periodic audits.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does the 1 TB Processing capacity cover?

  A: The 1 TB Processing capacity refers to the amount of data that can be ingested, transformed, and indexed within the platform during processing workflows. It supports data collection, de-duplication, indexing, and preparation for review, enabling efficient handling of large academic datasets, legal holds, and discovery requests. Capacity utilization depends on data types, extraction rules, and the complexity of searches and analytics applied during processing.

• Q: What is included in Essential Support?

  A: Essential Support typically covers core assistance for installation, licensing, updates, and access to Veritas technical resources. It is designed to minimize downtime, help resolve issues promptly, and ensure the platform remains current with security patches and feature updates during the 2-year term.
